The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission has summoned five members of the Makueni County Assembly over unethical conduct.

The five; Urbanus Kyalo Wambua, Janet Ngina Wambua, Mariam Ngena Musyoka, James Kalunda Muema and Maitha Nicholas Ndunda are being probed for blocking Mrs. Rose Kiragu from accessing St. Joseph’s Girls High School, where she had been transferred to as principal.

During the January 11 incident, police were forced to intervene and the MCAs were arrested and detained at Kibwezi Police Station. They were later arraigned before Senior Resident Magistrate Elizabeth Muiru and charged with incitement to violence, with the case set to be mentioned on February 15.

According to EACC, it has already interviewed and recorded statements from the school head, Teachers Service Commission (TSC) County Director, Sub-County Education Officer, Assistant County Commissioner, Kibwezi, and the OCS Kibwezi.
